Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuator according to the preamble of claim 1 for motor vehicle applications, in particular for a motor vehicle lock with this actuator, for realizing various functional positions.
  • DE 10 2015 113 122 A1 describes an actuator for motor vehicle applications, in particular for a motor vehicle lock with an actuator, for realizing various functional positions.
  • An electromagnetic rotation controller is used there, the electromotive rotation controller comprising a stator with a coil arrangement and a magnetizable rotor element.
  • the disclosed non-contact rotary actuator generates a rotary movement by means of magnetic fields which are generated by means of coils on a U-shaped stator. By arranging several coils, a differently oriented magnetic field can be achieved.
  • the rotor element comprises a magnetizable rotor, the rotor being alignable with respect to the generated magnetic field of the coil arrangement.
  • the rotor element comprises a shaft arrangement on which a number of cams are formed, by means of which different adjusting movements can be achieved by means of the adjusting unit. If the actuating unit is used, for example, for a motor vehicle lock, different settings can be set in the motor vehicle lock by means of the cams and / or additional lever arrangements. Electric opening, locking, anti-theft or child safety can be used as settings.
  • the rotor element is aligned around its axis by means of the induced magnetic fields, so that different functional positions of the rotor element can be realized.
  • the actuator has latching means in which spring-loaded levers interact with the cams on the output shaft of the rotor element, so that stable functional positions can be achieved.
  • Each cam is designed as a locking cam and has one for this purpose Recess into which a nose on the associated lever engages as soon as the cam reaches the desired functional position relative to the lever. In this way, a releasable locking connection is realized between the lever on the one hand and the cam on the other hand when the functional position is reached.
  • Each lever is acted upon by a spring. The force of the spring is directed so that the lever is pressed with its nose in the direction of the axis of the output shaft.
  • a permanent magnet designed as a rotor shaft is rotatably received in a coil arrangement, magnetic fields can be generated by means of the coil arrangement and the rotor shaft can be aligned in different functional positions by means of the magnetic fields.
  • the arrangement of coil pairs makes it possible to align the rotor shaft and an adjusting element arranged on the rotor shaft. Due to the homogeneous magnetic fields generated by means of the coil arrangements, the rotor element can be brought into different functional positions, with intermediate positions also being made possible.
  • the control circuit for the coil arrangements are designed as driver circuits and in particular as half bridges, the control circuit being designed in such a way that steady-state current is applied. This means that the drive positions which correspond to the corresponding control positions of the actuating element can be approached without the need for an end stop or the like.
  • the driver circuit is designed as an H-bridge circuit and manages with conventional switches, in particular integrated semiconductor switches. A commutator required for conventional electric motors can thus be dispensed with.
  • EP 1 785 560 A2 forms the basis for the preamble of claim 1 and describes a drive mechanism 110 for a motorized lock of a vehicle door and shows in its FIG. 3 and 4th a second embodiment.
  • the drive mechanism 110 includes one Electric motor 112 with a shaft 118, a drive lever 142 and a shift lever 138.
  • the drive lever 142 can be brought into two functional positions A, B by means of the electric motor 112.
  • the drive lever 142 interacts with the switching lever 138 in such a way that, after the second functional position B has been reached, a torque can be introduced into the drive lever 142 by means of the switching lever 138.
  • the drive lever 142 is received at a first end 142A such that it can pivot about a stationary first axis.
  • the shift lever 138 is mounted at a first end 138A so as to be pivotable about a displaceable second axis 139.
  • the second axis 139 is slidably mounted in a slot 140 which runs on a straight line through the two axes.
  • the second end 142B of the drive lever 142 is pivotably connected to the second end 138B of the shift lever 138, so that the drive lever 142 and the shift lever 138 form a toggle lever.
  • a coil spring 120 engages the two second ends 138B, 142B and biases the toggle lever into its extended position ( FIG. 4th ), which corresponds to the second functional position B.
  • a force is transmitted by means of the switching lever 138 to the first end 142A of the drive lever 142, which force acts from the second axis 139 exactly on the first axis.
  • a worm 116 is attached to the shaft 118 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the first end 142A of the drive lever 142 forms a worm wheel 144, the teeth 146 of which mesh with the worm 116.
  • the second end 142B of the drive lever 142 takes the second end 138B of the shift lever 138 with it, so that the shift lever 138 is pivoted about the second axis 139 and its first end 138A is pushed in the slot 140 closer to the first axis. If the toggle lever is to reach its extended position from an upwardly bent position, then the electric motor 112 is operated in an opposite second direction of rotation, whereby the drive lever 142 is pivoted about the first axis in such a way that its second end 142B moves downwards and the Coil spring 122 is relaxed.
  • US 2002 0 089 188 A1 describes a mechanism 148 for locking and unlocking a motor vehicle door lock 10 and shows in its FIG. 8 a second embodiment.
  • the mechanism 148 comprises a motor with an output shaft, a first lever 150 and a second lever 152.
  • the second lever 152 is connected to the output shaft and, by means of the motor, is in two functional positions (in FIG. 8 with solid or dashed lines shown).
  • the second lever 152 interacts with a torsion spring 174 in such a way that after the first functional position has been reached (shown in FIG. 8 with solid lines), a torque stabilizing this functional position can be introduced into the second lever 152 by means of the torsion spring 174.
  • the second lever 152 is received at a first end so as to be pivotable about a stationary first axis 154.
  • the first lever 150 is mounted at a first end so as to be pivotable about a displaceable second axis 118.
  • the second axis 118 is mounted displaceably on a straight line which runs through the two axes 154, 118.
  • the second end of the first lever is pivotably connected to the second end of the second lever, so that first lever 150 and second lever 152 form a toggle lever.
  • the torsion spring 174 engages the first end of the second lever 152 and biases the toggle lever into its bent to the left position, which corresponds to the first functional position.
  • the motor is operated in such a way that the second lever 152 is pivoted about the second axis 154 in such a way that its second end moves to the right.
  • the second end of the second lever 152 takes the second end of the first lever 150 with it, so that the first lever 150 is pivoted about the first axis 118 and its first end is initially further away from the second axis 154 and then - after reaching the extended position of the knee lever - is pushed closer to the second axis 154 again.
  • the electric motor is operated in such a way that the second lever 152 is pivoted about the second axis 154 in such a way that its second end moves to the left.
  • the second end of the second lever 152 takes the second end of the first lever 150 with it, so that the first lever 150 is pivoted about the first axis 118 and its first end is initially further away from the second axis 154 and then - after reaching the extended position of the toggle lever - is pushed closer to the second axis 154 again.
  • DE 10 2008 011 545 A1 describes a motor vehicle door lock with a lever 1 and with a leg spring 2 assigned to the lever 1 with two spring legs 2a.
  • the leg spring 2 interacts with an associated contour 4 for the combined formation of a bistable position securing unit 2, 4.
  • the leg spring 2 is arranged on a lock case and the contour 4 is arranged on the lever 1.
  • Both spring legs 2a interact together with the contour 4.
  • the contour 4 is equipped with two recesses 4a for pretensioning the spring legs 2a lying thereon.
  • the spring legs 2a are in both bistable end positions of the lever 1 continuously on their respective associated formation 4a a and form an interaction pair 2a, 4a.
  • the lever 1 is rotatably mounted about an axis A.
  • the leg spring 2 is arranged in a stationary manner opposite the contour 4 and, together with the contour 4, generates a resulting force component FR, which moves the lever 1 in its one end position ( FIG. 2 ) counterclockwise and in its other end position ( FIG. 1 ) is applied clockwise in relation to its axis A.
  • the locking system 1 comprises a movable component 4 and a spring element.
  • Two eccentric sections 11 are provided on component 4, which move along a movement path 16 between two stable end positions (in FIG. 3 shown with dashed lines) and a stable intermediate position (in FIG. 3 shown with solid lines) can be pivoted.
  • the spring element 3 is fixed at two points 13, 14 of the locking system 1 in such a way that the spring element 3 can be deflected during a movement of the eccentric sections 11 along the movement path 16.
  • the movable component 4 has drive means 6.
  • the spring element 3 is elongated.
  • the stable intermediate position lies between the stable end positions. In the intermediate position, the eccentric sections 11 deflect the spring element 3.
  • the spring element 3 is not deflected in any end position.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing an actuator for motor vehicle applications in such a way that the individual functional positions can be specified and maintained in a reproducible and defined manner with as little structural effort as possible.
  • the inventive design of the actuator now creates the possibility, on the one hand, to realize a stable and permanently safe functional position by means of the actuating drive by means of the additional torque and, on the other hand, to provide easy positioning of the rotor element in relation to the drive lever.
  • the drive lever is driven directly, so that no additional latching means are necessary in order to enable the drive lever to be in a safe position.
  • the actuator for automotive applications can be used to implement various functional positions of an actuator. Locking of compartments or flaps is possible, the display of functional positions, for example locked or unlocked, the use of the actuator as a means of opening, for example a flap or door, and preferably use in a motor vehicle locking system.
  • the actuating means can, for example, move the drive lever directly and thus set electrical opening, locking, theft protection, child safety or comparable functions in the motor vehicle.
  • the end position of the drive lever is then described as the functional position, the motor vehicle lock, for example, being in a locked position.
  • the drive lever can then be brought into a further functional position in which the motor vehicle lock is then, for example, unlocked.

  • the rotor element of the rotary actuator is preferably rotatable and preferably arranged on a shaft in the coil carrier.
  • the rotor element can be present on a diametrically magnetized permanent magnet, the permanent magnet being attached to the coil body or the positive conductor element while achieving the smallest possible gap.
  • the rotor element or the permanent magnet can then be rotatably aligned in the direction of the polarized flux guide element or the coil carrier.
  • the rotor element can then be aligned parallel to the flux guiding element.
  • the flux guide element can serve directly as a coil carrier and stator of the electromagnetic rotary actuator.
  • the rotor itself is formed from the permanent magnet and the shaft carrying the permanent magnet.
  • An electromagnetic rotary actuator can thus be achieved which can assume at least two different functional positions. Depending on the number of coil carriers and coil windings, several functional positions can also be assumed by means of the electromagnetic rotary actuator.
